Nothing new on MWC TV front

With torrents of money soon flowing into Pac-12 coffers with the announcement of the 12-year television pact, I checked with Javan Hedlund of the Mountain West Conference office for any MWC update.

Now that everything is settled with Utah, BYU and TCU leaving and Boise State, Hawaii, Nevada and Fresno State coming in, I thought some renegotiating would come down. “

The Mountain West is under contract with CBS Sports Network/Comcast for the next four years,” Hedlund replied in an e-mail. “Conversations are on going, but its business as usual right now.”

Although often maligned in the past for accessibilitys, the MWC’s network the Mtn., has been the prototype for every other college niche venture from the Big Ten to the Texas network to the upcoming Pac-12 concept.

This week is a great example with spring ball wrap-ups running on the Mtn.

Meanwhile, before the next exchange of trash talk, Colorado State fans might want to note that under the new Pac-12 agreement, rival Colorado will have an approximate 19-1 advantage in TV rights fees a year. And with the final numbers now available, can anyone still begrudge Utah it’s decision to leave?

Natalie, the fella is talking about a CONTRACT. The Pac just signed a new CONTRACT. Previously they were working within the framework of an existing CONTRACT. In four years the MWC’s CONTRACT will be up, and all parties can negotiate a new CONTRACT. This is what happens in business.

Again with the cu plug? Write up is about the MWC and somehow it always has to involve cu. Amazing.

Hahaha CU plug? Well, the reason for this is because CSU is a joke. Cmon now. Get real.
